Who We Are
Brand ME Labs is a personal branding and thought leadership consultancy founded by two visionary leaders who understand the power of authentic storytelling and strategic positioning.
Our Mission & Vision
Mission: We believe your personal brand is your most powerful asset. Our mission is to help you clarify your story, amplify your voice, and create lasting impact in your industry and beyond.
Vision: To build a world where authentic leaders confidently own their narratives and use their influence to drive meaningful change in their organizations and communities.
Our Story
Brand ME Labs was born from a shared vision between Nicole Ramirez and Ivonne Kinser—two accomplished marketing and branding experts who recognized a critical gap in the market.
While working with countless brands and executives throughout their careers, they witnessed firsthand how powerful personal branding could transform not just individual careers, but entire organizations. They saw talented leaders struggling to articulate their value, brilliant minds hiding behind corporate messaging, and innovative companies missing opportunities because their key players weren't visible in the market.
Together, they founded Brand ME Labs to bridge this gap—empowering individuals to craft powerful personal brands while helping companies understand that their greatest competitive advantage lies in the authentic voices of their leadership team.
